Hi, I'm at the 60,000 mi range on my 2000 elantra and I am a little confused
about replacing my timing belt. Owners manual says replace at 60,000 mi
except calif, Car bought new in Ca and what does that mean, that in calif it
does'nt need replaced at 60k. Just got the car smogged and ask the mechanic
what that except Ca means and he told me that I don't have to do the timing
belt until 90k-100k in Calif.He stated to me the in the calif the belt is
made of a different materal and the replacement is extended. I can't find
anything in the owners manual that states this. What is the replacement
mileage on the 2000 elantra in Calif.I don't want to get stranded with a
ruined engine without a 10yr-l00,000 mi warranty because I did'nt replace
the T-belt@60k. thanks for help on this issue.
